Street Costumes.


Costumes are made short for street
wear, and generally draped, though
less tucked up than last year. Fancy
stripes forming diamond pattern are
a fashionable device. A pretty walking
costume is made thus: Plated skirt OF
some plain wooden material, with a
plated robing in fancy stripes at the
side; tunic of the plain fabric loosely
draped into STANDPOINT in front and
puff at the back. Tight-ftting jacket
of the same material as the tunic, open
ing with two small revers, fastened
down with buttons, over plain vest of
the striped fabric. Coat-sleeves with
striped facings.

Paper Collars and Cuffs.

paper collars and cuffs are becom-
ing popular again." said Fulton street
haberdasher to an Eagle reporter. "In
late years it was considered vulgar to
wear them, but now they are affected
by all classes of society. I have many
wealthy customers who will wear moth
ing else. They are mostly elderly gen
tlemen who have been educated to that
idea from boyhood and are loath to dis
card the style of linen worn by their
daddies. Paper collars have the best
sale in the rural districts. Farmers, if
they wear collars at all, affect paper
ones. A linen collar is almost unknown
in some parts of the country, partic1l-
larly in the West. OF late I have no.
ticed that many young and dressy men
wear paper linen, and especially in
warm weather. Paper collars come
cheap. Some brands are worth more
than others. An excellent quality can
be bought for Is cents box, which
contains ten collars. Cuffs cost the
same for q box containing five pairs.
In hot weather paper collars are lux
urious to men who perspire freely.
They can be changed as often as de-
sired, and are comparatively cheap,
when it is taken into consideration that
a box can be purchased at about the
same price that wonld ha maid for o,o
linen collar. But few men can tell a
paper collar at glance. Some brands
make nearly as good an appearance as
linen. Celluloid collars and cuffs are
now seldom worn. Some years ago
they were very popular, but only in
hot weather. False or paper bosoms
have almost entirely disappeared. y

EulacieS.

Trains are worn at balls by ladies
who do not care very much for dancing,
while round skirts are adopted by those
to whom dancing is the object of the
evening.
The Diana couture is much in vogue.
For this couture the hair is turned
straight up from the roots and arranged
on the top of the head into sort of
rouleau, which is fastened with small
tortoise-shell comb. Two large tor
toise shell pins to match are used to
fasten the ends of the front hair into
loops at the sides quite high on the
head.
The Psyche couture is also very fash
ionable. The hair is also combed up
from the roots, but it is then twisted
and arranged into two large loops
fastened with small comb and pins Of
light-colored tortoise-shell.
These tortoise-shell combs and pins
are of quite new style, and are among
the prettiest novelties introduced this
season. They are in pretty open-work
patters, some square, some rounded,
and some triangular; the pins are but
reductions OF the comb; they are sold in
pairs.
Jewels of old silver, finely wrought
in imitation of ancient jewelry, are also
among the favorite trinkets of fashion
just now. There are beautiful brace
lets composed of detached ovals fas-
tened together by very fine chains,
brooches to match, and exquisite chate-

so as to fasten in their points when not
wanted, pin-cushion and yard meas

exchanged for silver pencil-case, and

Some additional Diet lii3 about Sontay,
which is here the sole subject of con-
versation. In the attack Oh the forts
of Phusa on Dec. IL, at the angle of the
two dikes, the Turcos charged with
such impetuosity that their officers
could not restrain them. They had in
consequence to be called back, but on
seeing the Marine Infantry going in
front of them they again rushed for
ward like madmen. There were in this
first attack $50 men hors de combat out
of a total of 1858 in the two affairs,
and moreover a high proportion of
officers. When the Turcos, after their
repulse, got into the enemys intrench-
ments they committedf , frightful
carnage, being exasperated by the
sight of the headess corpscs of their
comrades who had fallen in the first
assault. The Foreign Legion showed
admirable discipline, and the steadiness
and bravery of the Anamese sharp
shooters were much praised. Under
the fire of the ramparts they delivered
several volleys with precision which
filled our officers with astonishment.
The intrenchments were formidable,
and if they had had more artillery 1t
would have been verv difficult to even
approach them.

A Horses Memory.

On the farm of Mr.. w. G. Marrow, In
the county of Warwick, Va, there lives
an old "war horse" that seems to yet
remember the days when the shot and
shell flew thick and fast. The horse
was the property of Major Marrow, son
Of the above named gentleman, who
was an aid on General Lees staff.
The horse was in number OF battles
and was at the surrender at Appomat-
tox. Late in the year Of 1865 he was
carried to the above farm, he being at
that time twelve years Of age. There
he has remained up to the present
time. Some few days ago boy
with drum passed by the house, and
some one asked him TO beat the "long
roll" The old horse was grazing fifty
yards away. AS soon as the boy COM
menced to roll the drum the old charger
raised his head, and then, with ears and
tail erect, and nostlils distended, he
cantered proudly mp to the drummer,
signifying his appreciation by repeated
neighing, and remained until the boy
stopped.

JAPAN's woNDRoUs GARDEN.
The Trees and Tiowcrs-An Atmos.
pherc of Delicious Comfort.


The spring and summer in Japan is
full of picturesque beauty, and yields
an atmosphere of delicious comfort.
The skies drop gladness. It's garden
pictures are changing as kaleidoscope.
The terraced hillside, rank with ver-
dure, vie with wheat-ilelds bending
heath their load of grain; some just
cut and supplanted by rice in fields
flooded with water while others, green
with the tender shoots, are ready for
tranSplanting. When the seasons are
unusually dry nothing is left to suffer.
The reservoirs are so large, and the
irrigating system so complete, that
Japan's wondrous garden smiles OH
beneath scorching rays. The trees of
Japan are wonder. Here is the
mockungi," with its purple bell-shapcd
flowers; also the magnolia, with its
rich white and purple clusters. Queen
among the trees towers the camelia.
Some of these are sixty feet high and
are covered with blossoms from Janu-
uary to May, Of many varieties, from
the large pure white, resembling a
double rose, to various shades of pink
and red The cherry and plum trees
are cultivated solely for their blossoms,
and are trees Of rare beauty. The
former grows thirty feet high and as
many broad, its branches covered with
red and white flowers, two inches in
diameter and perfuming the air at a
great distance. It's petals of snow and
cream, falling in showers, spread many
carpet for the feet on the stone paths
leading to the temples, verifying the
native poet when he says, "There are
snow showers which do not descend
from the skies" The plum tree is par
excellence the poets tree. Often it is
seen standing lcailess in the snow, yet
adorned with blossoms like a bride.
The tree bursts into soft clouds of
bloom and fragrance in February, but
without leaves.
Along the hillsides naples and pines
are covered with vines Of exquisite
.oveliness, trailing and INTERVIEWING
with bewildering intricacy; among
these are the wistaria and thunbergia,
with their purple stars and tufts. From
the verdant valleys to the tops of the
mountains are seen lilies, pinks and
roses of endless variety. The grass is
studded, and flowers spring even from
the quaint, artistic thatched roofs of
the tea houses, asking leave only to
grow and bless the light. These tea
houses seem idyllic. They are
national institution, for they are every
where; along the city streets, by the
roadside, in the groves, woods, parks,
valleys, and up tho mountain side.
